    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Can someone tell me what that small block with the two hose nipples comming out of the engine case is? It's located next to the starter and just below the cam chain tensioner. I'm sure it has something to do with the oiling system but can't figure out what. My engine is not installed so I can't tell what the hoses would go to.

Also, why is it only on some engines? My '79 GS750 8V has it, my '82 GS750 16V does not. I think later Katanas have it too.
 
It sounds like it is the oil pressure sender with a connection for an oil cooler.
Cheers
 
The top end oiler comes out from the top of the block behind the starter by the oil temp switch and has two hoses which of course head to the head:p
At least it does on my 83 but I have to make new hoses this winter.:(
 
Someone installed an aftermarket oil cooler adapter on your engine. You can replace it with a stock oil pressure sensor plate if you are not going to run an oil cooler.
